Christmas Spirit The crimson sun comes crashing downBlood red rays tumble to the ground.I see it through the scarlet glare,Christmas spirit is everywhere. I find joy in falling snowflakes,Even though my broken heart aches.Scent of pine needles in the air,Christmas spirit is everywhere. Oh silent night, most holy night,I’m drawn towards the eastern light.I bowContinue reading “Christmas Spirit”

Empty Sky
Empty Sky My witness is the empty sky,Devoid of any truth or lie.Raindrops tumble from clouds of gray…It all ends in tears anyway. Winter wallows with brutal coldAs cherished memories unfold.No matter what they do or say…It all ends in tears anyway. Behold as Christmas comes againWith scent of spruce and cinnamon.But time is cruel,Continue reading “Empty Sky”

Beneath the Harvest Moon

Whisked on the wind, leaves are falling.Feel the chill of winter calling.Love comes not a moment too soon,I wait beneath the harvest moon. Your lips taste of cabernet wine,Sending chills runningContinue reading “Beneath the Harvest Moon”
Vertigo
Vertigo My head is spinning round and round,My feet unsteady on the ground.I’m caught up in this undertow,I’ve got a touch of vertigo.
